“By Moonlight”
We’re all mysterious
By moonlight, so hush
Now and sleep so I can
Watch you.
I love the way your eyelashes
Flutter against your cheek,
Eyes dancing behind eyelids
Caked in mocha shadow and the
Smeared eyeliner you
Forgot to wash off
again.
I’d like to think that you’re
Dreaming of me, but you don’t
Even know I’m here.

Beautiful poem and the twist at the end is tragic or farcical, or both. LOved this.
